"The Jackpot is a 1950 American comedy film directed by Walter Lang, with James Stewart and Barbara Hale in the lead roles. It features a young Natalie Wood. The screenplay was based on a John McNulty article, "The Jackpot", in The New Yorker (February 19, 1949), about the true experiences of James P. Caffrey of Wakefield, Rhode Island who won $24,000 worth of merchandise on August 28, 1948 from the CBS radio quiz program, Sing It Again.Crowther, Bosley. "The Life of Comedy", The New York Times, December 3, 1950.McNulty, John. The New Yorker, February 19, 1949. The film is mostly forgotten today, but was a successful vehicle for Stewart at the time. A radio adaptation, broadcast April 26, 1951, on NBC's Screen Directors Playhouse, received much press coverage because Stewart's co-star was Margaret Truman, making her debut as a radio actress for a fee of $2,500. She received mixed reviews, and noted that her father "enjoyed it".Lewiston Evening Journal, April 27, 1951. ==Characters and story== Bill Lawrence (Stewart), employed at a midwest department store, supports a wife (Hale) and two teenage kids (Wood, Tommy Rettig) on an annual salary of $7,500. Answering a phone call, he wins $24,000 worth of merchandise from a radio quiz program and is overwhelmed by prizes which range from the useful to the absurd, including a side of beef, 7,500 cans of soup, 1,000 fruit trees, a Palomino pony, a portable swimming pool, a diamond ring, a French maid, an interior decorator (Alan Mowbray) and portrait painter Hilda Jones (Patricia Medina). All is well until Lawrence is told he must sell the prizes in order to pay an income tax of $7000. When he tries to raise the money by selling the merchandise at the department store, his boss (Fred Clark) fires him. When he tries to fence the diamond ring in Chicago, he's arrested. Complicating matters, his wife suspects him of having an affair with Greenwich Village artist Hilda. Dealing with these problems, he gets help from reporter Harry Summers (James Gleason), who had been writing newspaper articles about Lawrence and his winnings. Bandleader Harry James made an uncredited appearance as a radio vocalist. ==Cast== * James Stewart as William J.

"In mathematics, Frölicher spaces extend the notions of calculus and smooth manifolds. They were introduced in 1982 by the mathematician Alfred Frölicher. ==Definition== A Frölicher space consists of a non-empty set X together with a subset C of Hom(R, X) called the set of smooth curves, and a subset F of Hom(X, R) called the set of smooth real functions, such that for each real function :f : X -> R in F and each curve :c : R -> X in C, the following axioms are satisfied: # f in F if and only if for each γ in C, f . γ in C∞(R, R) # c in C if and only if for each φ in F, φ . c in C∞(R, R) Let A and B be two Frölicher spaces. A map :m : A -> B is called smooth if for each smooth curve c in CA, m.c is in CB. Furthermore, the space of all such smooth maps has itself the structure of a Frölicher space. The smooth functions on '' :C∞(A, B) are the images of :S : F_B \times C_A \times \mathrm{C}^{\infty}(\mathbf{R}, \mathbf{R})' \to \mathrm{Mor}(\mathrm{C}^{\infty}(A, B), \mathbf{R}) : (f, c, \lambda) \mapsto S(f, c, \lambda), \quad S(f, c, \lambda)(m) := \lambda(f \circ m \circ c) == References == * , section 23 Category:Smooth functions Category:Structures on manifolds "
"State Route 401 (SR 401) is a state highway in Pershing County, Nevada. The route, known as Rye Patch Road, serves the Rye Patch State Recreation Area. ==Route description== First reassurance sign along westbound SR 401 The western terminus of Rye Patch Road is at a parking lot adjacent to a day use area on the southwestern shore of the Rye Patch Reservoir. From there, SR 401 loops around to head eastward, providing additional campground and recreation area access. The highway follows the southern edge of the reservoir and crosses the Humboldt River on Rye Patch Dam before cutting through mountains and continuing eastward. SR 401 reaches its eastern terminus at Interstate 80/U.S. Route 95, about north-northeast of Lovelock. ==History== SR 401 was added to the state highway system on July 30, 1976. ==Major intersectionsSee also== * * ==References== 401 Category:Transportation in Pershing County, Nevada "
